This is the funniest layout I found during my study of Holiday, a travel magazine, for the historical perspectives project. It's funny in itself (why is the guy sitting on the ampersand several an inch above it rather than right on it) but even more so considering the rest of the magazine at the time was very stagnant and mainly focused on photographs of travel sites. At first the project of looking through a decades worth of a magazine seen tedious (even after I decided to just look at Jan-June in 1960, 63, 66 and 69!), but then after a while I started to feel like an expert who could make substantial observations.
It was neat to hear about everyone else's observations. Don't you just wish you had spare time to browse through all the old issues of magazines? Maybe someday....
